From that last link above, only the three wheel Sondors and Local Motors "Olli" self driving box/shuttle are not mainstream vehicles (scroll to bottom of page).

Customer List:

VW
Local Motors
Storm Sondors
Ford (F-150)
Mercedes Benz


It's the real deal, finally getting here and made in Canada not China (Chinese parent company).

The Brabus Electric system goes back to a 2011 show car, I'm not certain they are using it in anything on the road currently. If you all find something more current, please post it.
